For all we know she could already be in Cincy practising along with the likes of Wozy, Vera etc.
Don't be so harsh on Maria. Do you not think she is also suffering from the loss? She is very hard on herself and will do her best to improve in the next match. Such is life. I don't believe for one minute that she is actually enjoying herself shopping or sight seeing. She wouldn't be mentioning her sponsor's name if she was just shopping around and having fun. She is under pressure from these big guns to keep plugging their products. Because her matches have been cut short by losing she has to advertise by other means.
She has not wasted anyone's hours. She doesn't hold a gun to anyone's head. We choose to watch her play. Some of us want to support her for one reason or another. I love her fighting spirit, her tenacity and her winning shots. No matter what anyone says, I think Maria tried very hard last night. Yes, she was hitting the ball in the middle of the court a lot. My excuse for her is that she did not want to take any risk because of the strong winds. You can take risks when you are up or ahead but not when you are behind most of the time. I have faith in Maria. She will be ready for USO.
Well, I gotta say she's running out of time. And taking a look at Cincy's draw it doesn't seem to me like this tournament is going to be a boost of confidence for her either. Kuznetsova in the 3rd round, then if she wins probably SERENA (so GAME OVER) and if she didn't have to play Serena then another tough opponent in the semis. Don't see Maria going far in that tournament either. I guess she's losing quite a few points this month. Anyway, that's not what bother me most, her form is not good AT ALL, and that serve, I don't know why she is making so little improvement on it. Seems like a chronic issue.
Anway, good luck Maria. For some reason I can not stop watching you. You've inspired me a lot with your fighting spirit and that has not gone away yet, even though you didn't act like that tough Sharapova when Voskoboeva gifted you that game where she was serving at 40-0 with three match points (ouch).
I agree with you guys, it sounded like what she wanted to say was..'Well now that I'm out, I have time to visit the Cole Hahn Store....for a while I thought I wasn't going to have time'. Like that was what was bothering her. I've said it before, this girl has too many more important (as she sees it) things to do 'off court'. She used a really bad choice of words to say it, or at least letting us know about it. Fact is though, she makes more money from them than hitting a ball around and sweating profusely and getting tired out. Time to get her priorities right.
Hush, hush my dear Philli & other "piranhas". Masha just has to to make those sponsors happy, so a quick visit
at a shoeshop won't hurt her, if she has picked the right size that is. It's what she did later what's matters and
that we don't know. I guess she's trainin' and workin' hard for her next match...THAT'S A MUST!!!
I'm certainly not Masha's biggest fan but all that negativism from YOU REAL FANS is simply "very silly".
So the girl has some problems...so what? That's no reason to bury her. I don't care, but you all should...
geezz, what a mentality!!! When u fall u get up and try again...even if u fall again...
I don't know what to say really but in a way I admire Serena for her high level of tennis after such a long lay off. Her will to win makes me jealous
I asked Maria that a couple of weeks ago and this is the answer...Q7
If the link doesnt work just copy and paste it on the URL bar ;)
Here they are:1. Maria, how is Dolce? People miss seeing him on tv with you. JoannaThanks for asking about Dolce, he is doing great. I miss him a lot when I am travelling. I just posted a very short video of him on my facebook page if you want to check it out.
2. Maria, First of all, I'm a huge fan! My question is what do you like to do in your free time? Besides tennis and working out. For example a hobby you have that most do not know about? DougI spend a lot of my free time with my family and friends because I am travelling so much. I also spend time working on my different business projects, like my Nike collection and my Cole Haan collection.
3. Hey Maria! I'm planning on having a movie marathon at some point, any movies you recommend? By the way, I'm hoping to see you at the Brisbane International next year :) AlisaraA Movie marathon sounds like a lot of fun, I watch a lot of movies when I am on the road. I would maybe start with some 007 and then get into some movies like the Hangover and Old School.4. Hi Maria, I'm 12 from Australia and my question is when you play a tough opponent, what goes through your mind and how do you deal with it and win? AleksandraThis is a great question. I love playing the tough opponents, this is what I live for. I try to be really focused in my preparation and when I step onto the court, I just want to fight fight fight for every point!!5. Hey Maria! My question is this : which would you say was better, your basketball skills or Sasha's tennis skills? LauraI think we should both stick with our own sports!!! Ha Ha
6. How important do you feel it is to connect with your fans? SehreneI have some of the best fans in the entire world, I think social networking has been a great way for me to connect with my fans. I also think my fans have enjoyed my new website, so I am trying to do as many things as possible to keep my fans updated on my life on and off the court.
7. Will you ever play doubles again in your career such as the 2012 Olympics? PadraicI think my doubles should stayed retired!!!
8. Hi Maria! I've always wondered what's inside your tennis bag during the tennis match? EvgenijaI like to keep my racket bag very simple inside. I carry about 6-8 rackets on the court. I have some string, grips, my music and that's about it. Nothing too exciting.
9. I'm Joanna from Hungary and I've been a big fan of you for 7 years now! I'd like to ask you what it would mean to you to win the Olympic Gold Medal? It must be a wonderful moment when they're playing the Russian anthem for you :) JoannaI can't wait to play the Olympics!!! It is a dream of mine to be an Olympic athlete. I was crushed when I could not play in Beijing.
10. If you had a wish now, what will it be? NellaMy wish is to stay healthy and I know good things will happen on the court.
I already said and I want to say it again. The women tennis is a f.....g mess. With her new win in Toronto after Stanford, all the credit must go to Serena. And not to forget two months ago, she didn't know if she could make her return for the US tour. Like we say in our homeland, a true champion never dies.
What does piss me off is no one in the WTA top20, or top10, NO ONE is able to resist the hurricane Serena? She returned after being sidelined 49 weeks because of injury and sickness and won two major tournaments. Unbelievable!
As of this week, Maria is now ranked #7 in the world, due to her loss in the 3rd round. Cincinatti and Roger's Cup were switched and she wasn't able to defend her final points. Very dissapointing. Like this website has said, she does not have any points to defend next week in Cincinatti because she did not compete in the Rogers Cup last year.
C'mon Maria! Kick into high gear and get back into the top of the world! You CAN do it.
Valkyre, Maria has no points to defend next week, so the points she gets during Cincinatti will add to her overall ranking points. It should help her. Take Serena for example. She has no points to defend since she was absent from the tour for almost a year, so all the points she gets will just pile up. (She has gone from 80th to 31st because of her Toronto win).
This is why I am even more excited for 2012, Maria missed alot of the first part of the season after the Australian Open becuase she was sick (pulled out of Qatar, Dubai, and Paris). If she does well there, she could move alot more up the rankings. Hopefully in the top 3!
Go MASHA!
Lets be honest.....when Williams wants to be, she IS the number 1. Over the years her only stutters have come with a couple of defeats against Maria and Venus. As for MARIA.....more of the same ...inconsistent, lack of a plan b, poor serve (why is the throw so flaming high??), the sponsors, shopping.......blah blah.....
The way i see it, it´s up to Maria. The only one who can come up with a really qualified answer to her style of playing is Vera Zvonareva. And we all know she has played some incredible tennis, from time to time ,during the last 12 months. I remember her dismantling Wozniacki through the greatest performance of tennis last year. I don´t thing Zvonareve actually knew she could put up such a performance, but she did. Some of the best tennis i´ve ever seen.
I hope for the love of tennis that thest two amazing contenders will meet again, Zvonareva against Maria could be, if they decide to give it all, be one of the best matches the tennis world has ever seen.
For tonights match, Well.... the name of the opponent says it all. No need to try to push Maria in any direction, there´s no love los there. I think Maria will win this, by all counts, she is the better player.
So go for it Maria.

Midseason Guide now posted. Enjoy!
If you bought the GOLD package, my apologies - I assigned last year's midseason guide to it instead of today's. I fixed the issue, albeit 5 hours later (couldn't figure out was wrong until now - duh).
Also - I re-issued this month's rankings at 4pm ET today. I realized that my anaylsis on the Blues players was not in there, so I remedied that. - Dobber
Kyle Turris had a goal and an assist last night, and he seems to be playing better each game. Ottawa was a perfect fit for him - a young team willing to be patient with him, and one with little depth up the middle (at least in the short/medium term).
Nugent-Hopkins is out for a few weeks with his shoulder injury. I don't think it will affect Eberle all that much (he scored against the Blues last night). He's the best Edmonton forward and he'll find a way to keep producing (the Oilers do have some other talented players).
Pietrangelo had a great game for the Blues - two points and six shots on goal.
Don't look now, but Chris Stewart has five goals in his last eight games.
FREE - Last year's Midseason Guide. I think the midseason edition is just as helpful as the preseason one and to prove it to you I want you to look at what we did last year. The information that it gives - prospects, half-season projections, tidbits, trends, college free agents, KHL thoughts - WILL help you for the second half. So read last year's version, enjoy it, and be convinced. Pick up last year's Midseason Guide for free right here.
Giroux, Hartnell, and van Riemsdyk combined for six points against Chicago. Hartnell also had a whopping seven shots on goal.
Timonen left the game and was seen after with a soft cast on one of his wrists. Awful news for the Flyers if he is out for any extended period of time.
Chicago rookie winger Jimmy Hayes now has goals in back-to-back games.
Shea Weber returned from a concussion and played 25 minutes for the Preds last night. Josi played, while both Ellis and Blum were healthy scratches. Josi has been the most steady of the three, and he looks the most comfortable playing a regular shift at the NHL level.
Watched most of the Russia/Sweden final last night. The Swedes were better (by a long shot) all game long. It was fitting that their best forward scored the tournament winner in OT – Ottawa first rounder Mika Zibanejad.
Boston pummeled Calgary 9-0 right now. The Bruins have scored 15 goals in their past two games. I don't even think the Kings have scored 15 all season…
Calgary rookie goalie Leland Irving was lit up like a Christmas tree for the first six goals before getting the mercy pull.
A few interesting stats – Calgary defenseman Chris Butler ties a league-worst minus-7 single game record. TJ Brodie led the Flames in ice time with almost 25 minutes played, yet he finished the game even (even with nine goals against and none for. simply incredible).
As I mentioned yesterday, Boston's depth is ridiculous. No one played less than 12 minutes against Calgary last night (yes, it is easier to spread out ice time when holding a significant lead).
Benoit Pouliot had three helpers for the Bruins – looked great (as did the rest of the team).
Joe Corvo had no points, but finished plus-4 with seven shots on goal.
Tuukka Rask made 25 saves for the shutout. His stats this season (in limited action) are simply ridiculous.
Jonas Gusvatsson shut out the Jets last night – his first shut out in almost THREE calendar years.
Kessel and Lupul refuse to slow down, but I thought Grabovski was the best Leaf last night (much like many nights last season). Grabovski is a really fun player to watch, and he is underrated defensively.
Anton Stralman scored his first goal as a Ranger last night. No PP time, but he did see almost 24 minutes overall.
Samuelseson had two helpers for the Panthers last night.
Brandon Dubinsky has 14 shots on goal – and no goals – in his last four games.
Rumors about regarding Getzlaf/Perry/Ryan to "insert favorite team here" for less than great returns. Don't expect it to happen.
Check out my piece on the Canucks Army yesterday, covering little-known but very fantasy-relevant Canucks prospect Patrick McNally, a freshman with the Harvard Crimson this season. McNally is one of the top scorers in the entire country among defensemen.
A good read on 10 stand outs from the World Juniors this year.
I was really impressed with this guy:
"Brett Connolly — As a 19-year-old with a previous world junior championship and 28 NHL games under his belt, he was expected to be a leader for Canada. He's done just that, embracing his role as a more physical, gritty player and adding the leadership and scoring touch that made the Tampa Bay Lightning take his sixth overall in the 2010 NHL entry draft."
Glen Hoos wants your questions regarding commissioning a fantasy hockey league (rules, disputes, etc). Fire away to him right here!

Shout out to Oiler prospect Oscar Klefbom (beauty name) who had a great tourny and led Sweden with a plus 8. Woulda been up there for TOI too (dont know the data). For a team hurting on D its nice to see a prospect developing well.
Marc said:
Some of the league's best 2nd and 3rd liners like Peverley, Kelly and Marchand.

i just think of yours >ask a site<, and i realised that these can be created similar like new Scoreboard, where you can search players by score,medal,rating.
Its possible to site create Map Scoreboard, where will mapscan be selected,with parameters like active,finished,double triple,tournaments, no cards, escalating........etc,etc.
But instead to give you bunch of game numbers,result be listed like for players in numbers? what you think of that?
its need i can give visual explanation.

Marietta >Food & Dining > Willie Rae's
25 N Park Sq Ne, Marietta, GA | Directions 3006033.953367 -84.550134
Fri-Sat: 11am-10:30pm, Mon-Thu: 11am-9:30pm
Poor Service – We tried this restaurant last weekend. It was not so busy. We ordered an appetizer and it literally took 25 minutes before we say our server again; the food was at best okay, the service ruined it for us. We will give it one more chance at some point.
Good food :) – Pros: good food for a quick meal after a walk around the square. The bread pudding and coffee was awesome and the place was welcoming with tons of original artwork on the walls and tv monitors all over.
Cons: very busy - hard to get the waitress for a coffee refill until you're almost or finished with your meal. They only had one waitress on staff the day I went.
GH - grumpyhair dot wordpress dot com
Overcharged – I'm not happy with an automatic gratuity of 20% added PLUS an additional $4.62 that was not authorized!!!!!!!! I won't be back!
fantastic cajun fun – with the addictive fish tacos you will be coming back anyway.....a lively joint with super service from the staff. great tunes, amazing key lime pie and tastey dinner specials. the folk art on the wall creates a nice touch as well. the defining reason the marietta square is making a comeback..check out their sister restaurant Simpatico, next door
RUDE – Extremly rude service, I called to order lunch for my company. I explained to him who my company was and he thought I was soliciting him. He was extremely rude and in fact he hung up on me. I will take my order for 8 people and go elsewhere, I dont deserve to be treated the way the owner treated me here. My advice take your business someplace that values its customers.
Funky artwork and far-out country fare find a cozy home on Marietta's town square. – The Scene
Folk-art inspired paintings line the walls in a setting pitch-perfect for its crowd. Couples keep the tables packed; while the bar attracts its share of 30-something singles--but don't let that discourage you from checking the game score on the restaurant's muted television. Service is hyper-friendly, if a little absent minded.
The Food
Low country inspirations manage to taste as good as they look. The elk chimichanga, with its mild salsa and gamey elk paring, should receive a nomination for best elk dish of the year. Fried crawfish are miraculously free of grease. Willie's interpretation of shrimp and grits stands out from the pack by adding subtle flavor to plump shrimp with creamy grits and spicy tasso ham. Don't leave without tasting one of the house-made desserts--the bread pudding with Jack Daniel's creme anglaise is a particular standout.
a reason to come to the square – Willie Rae's is a wonderful restaurant with a neighborhood feel. If you are looking for casual, consistant dining with items out of the ordinary this is the place to go. Their fish tacos are incredible, they are an appetizer but enough for a dinner. The art work by Lizzie is a great touch. I have gone several times in small and big groups and it is always a treat, not to mention the staff is always accomodating. The whole family is welcome. My friends from midtown even commented it was good enough to travel out of the perimeter for.
worthy of the drive – This is the cutest little restaurant! Everytime I go, I have the best time! The food is outstanding and the prices are very reseasonable, and you can also order off their next door neighbors menu as well, Simpatico (Italian). I love this place! The ambience is unbeatable! Come check it out, you will not be dissappointed!!!
Art&Spice! – Willie Rae's gumbo is divine! I eat it for lunch as often as possible. And next door, Simpatico is worth the drive to Marietta if only for their incredible wine deals. No Buckhead 300% markup here. and the food is always innovative and delicious. Servers are genuine and attentive. Get thee to the Marietta square!
One of Marietta's Best – Very relaxed and great food make me think I'm back home in New Orleans

The City of Seattle is debating new legislation to protect nursing mothers from being asked to leave public establishments when breastfeeding. Elisa Hahn reports.
The City of Seattle is considering a law that would make breastfeeding a civil right, the SeattlePI.com reported. If passed, it would be illegal to ask a mother to stop breastfeeding, to cover up or move to another location.
The law was introduced by Councilmember Bruce Harrell who argued that breastfeeding could reduce infant mortality rates among minorities. In Seattle, American Indian and African Americans have infant mortality rates two times higher than other groups.
"If we change cultural norms, that people realize it's important to have a healthy Seattle, that people will breastfeed in public areas, it begins the conversation as to why," Harrell said, according to KING 5 TV.
Following a city council discussion about the measure Wednesday afternoon, a dozen mothers gathered for a "feed-in," according to KING 5.
A similar law has been in effect in Washington State since 2009, but breastfeeding advocates say that a local law would bolster its power, the SeattlePI.com reported.
Since the state law was passed, three mothers have filed complaints with the state's Human Rights Commission, according to the P-I. One woman was asked to leave a physical therapist's waiting room, another was told to stop breastfeeding at a Head Start facility, and the third was breastfeeding at the Sol Duc Hot Springs.
Other states, too, have given nursing women specific protections. In New York, infants may accompany their mothers to prison if their mothers are nursing them when she is committed. Nursing mothers in Virginia may breastfeed on any land or property owned by the state. And in Maryland, equipment for breastfeeding is exempt from sales tax.
Exclusive breastfeeding may be too hard, study finds
The laws are part of a national effort to encourage women to nurse their children. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about three-quarters of women start breastfeeding after birth, but fewer than 15 percent of those mothers continue to breastfeed exclusively six months later. The Healthy People 2020 initiative aims to increase the percentage of nursing mothers to 81.9 percent by 2020.

"Gardening is a way of showing you believe in tomorrow," proclaims a colorful plaque in Gayle Spiegel's attractive living room. The plaque reminds her that you can look forward to what's blooming in a garden in the same way you look forward to each new day.
When she moved into an apartment complex in Spring City, Pennsylvania, some of her neighbors wanted to know why she took time to create her own little garden out front. Since landscapers took care of the lawns and plantings that were scattered here and there around the complex, they wondered why she bothered. But Gayle wasn't deterred. She kept working on her little patch of garden and before very long, others began to copy her.
So much interest in gardening developed that the management of the complex began sponsoring an annual contest that still continues. The prize is a $25 gift certificate, and Gayle almost always wins it. She uses the money to buy other things for the garden.
Gayle says her mother was an avid gardener who instilled in her a love of growing things. But she admits that her first attempt at gardening was a total disaster. She planted rows of tomato plants in the long narrow backyard of the apartment where she was living then, but she mistakenly planted them too late and in a place where they didn't get enough sun.
"They were all green. They never ripened," she said, chuckling at the memory.
It wasn't until she moved to Spring City that her love of flower gardening took off. The garden is small but eye-catching, a tribute to Gayle's ability to make almost anything grow. She uses rocks, chimes, and ceramic garden "critters" to add a touch of whimsy to the assortment of blossoms and greenery.
The garden's centerpiece is a huge butterfly bush that annually attracts tiny bumblebee hummingbirds and migrating monarch butterflies. The hummingbirds are tiny, less than three inches long, getting their name from the stripes that wrap around their bodies, resembling the stripes of a bumblebee. A pair of these tiny visitors usually arrives every August. Monarch butterflies usually cover the bush for about a month every summer although she said few showed up this year.
Gayle's two daughters: Tasha,on the left, approx. age 14, and Dondi, approx. age 16
"Gardening is a way of showing you believe in tomorrow… [The garden] is a special memorial to her two daughters who died within four years of each other while only in their 20s."
But the garden Gayle planted in Spring City is more important to her than the flowers that grow there or the wildlife that may visit from time to time. It is a special memorial to her two daughters who died within four years of each other while only in their 20s. Dondi, who died suddenly in 1996 of unknown causes when she was 28, lived in Massachusetts and has a daughter named Deva – Gayle's only grandchild. Tasha died in 2000 at age 29 after a long illness. She was only two months old when she developed a 107-degree fever that caused severe brain damage and led to cerebral palsy and other serious health problems. Gayle, who dedicated years of her life to caring for her younger daughter, said she actually began creating the garden in Spring City because Tasha loved to sit outside with her and look at the flowers.
"After she died, I used to go to the cemetery all the time," she said. "But after a while, I felt as if my children were with me, so I put in the garden here at home for them. Everything I plant is in memory of my girls."
A pair of soil-clad garden gloves drying on a blue painted wooden chair in her front entryway are mute evidence of the time Gayle spends working in her garden. Every year she adds two new varieties of flowers, one for each of the girls. And sometimes she adds other things, like the pair of colorful ceramic mushrooms at one end of the garden.
"I really like the mushrooms because they're cute and little, and one's taller than the other just the way the girls were," she said, explaining that Dondi was five feet, 10 inches tall, while Tasha's height was only four feet, 11 inches.
The thing that surprises some people is that Gayle, unlike most ardent gardeners, doesn't know flowers by name. She chooses them because she likes their color or shape. "I see them, I like them, I buy them," she said.
Gayle describes herself as a "hippie" who once actively protested the Vietnam War, a person whose views were definitely not in the mainstream. Decades later, she still wears her hair long and straight and favors sandals and mid-calf length skirts.
"I've always been a spiritual person, and that part of me has kept growing," she said. "And my garden is a spiritual place to be, reflective of the earth, nature and things that grow, and the love that is put into it."
Her spirituality recently blossomed into another art form. Under the name of "Loves Words," she creates hand-made greeting cards with original drawings geared to a particular theme and hand prints thoughtful messages of encouragement. Some have specific themes you won't find in a regular card shop like the one with three pretty flowers on the front. On closer inspection, you see that the middle flower is a little different. Still pretty, but different. Inside it reads, "The child that is challenged is our teacher and a true gift from God."
Another has a man sitting at a little table playing cards with a child. The message inside says, "I love spending time with you," the point being that parents don't spend enough time with their children. An example of an all-occasion card is one about God that reads: "He is the sun. He is the bird that flies. He is the tree that dances in the wind. He is the song in our hearts. He is all things."
Gayle has many health issues herself and is unable to work a regular job so she hopes her card-making will turn into a business in the future. She doesn't have a computer yet to show her samples but people who want to see them can contact her at P.O. Box 156, Spring City PA 19475.
"Making these cards has been a lifelong dream that I'm finally getting to do," she said.
Gayle makes her cards at home where she lives by herself with a yellow cockatiel names Peaches. The bird, which she's had since right after it hatched, is as gentle and quiet as Gayle herself.
"I suppose it's a very quiet bird because that's the way I am," she explains.
She originally thought she had a female bird, hence the name "Peaches," but later learned that "Peaches" is probably a boy. Turns out that the twin spots that adorn a cockatiel's cheeks and look something like small round circles of rouge, are usually light on a female and darker on a male. The spots on "Peaches" cheeks have turned dark.
"But with a name like Peaches, please don't tell him," Gayle cautions with a smile.

I'm so sorry to hear about your tragedy. I love the idea of the home grown memorial garden for everyone to enjoy rather than the sterile conforming landscape of apartment complexes...
i'm sorry to hear this too, but I also love how you honor their memory. I have a brown thumb (not black, just brown) but appreciate that trait in others.
I can't imagine, so I will not try, but nice story and a cool thing to do to keep the memories alive.
Hi Gina, Even in a sterile apartment complex, you can grow love.Dear Antje, A brown thumb can be turned green with a little water, seeds and love.Dear Brian, A memory grows in each flower.Thank you all for your caring responses. Gayle
I too commend you for growing flowers 'among the weeds' (even though I'm sure the landscaping is lovely) and am so glad you shared this with us. I hope that Joyce can show you how to post more as I bet you have some lovely, sharing stories about the girls. Thanks for being featured here.
and they're both watching over you now :)

A Mini Pie BarNot a cake person? Try some pie. Guests can grab these mini pies without waiting to be served. For a fall wedding try pecan or pumpkin and for summer weddings try blueberry or blackberry.
A Cupcake BarSavor the flavor of wedding cake in cupcakes. Dainty and delicate, these cupcakes are as beautiful as a wedding cake, and knife-free.
Cake PopsDecorate these precious pops to match your wedding palette. Craft a tiered tower to hold them for a grandiose presentation guests will swoon over.

Seattle >Food & Dining > Cafe Lago
2305 24th Ave E, Seattle, WA | Directions 9811247.639739 -122.302063
Fri-Sat: 5pm-10pm, Sun-Mon: 5pm-9pm, Tue-Thu: 5pm-9:30pm
Neighborhoods: Montlake, Northeast, Northeast Seattle
Lasagna, lasagna, lasagna. Get the lasagna. Seriously. Lasagna. I don't know what else to tell you about it. LASAGNA.
Great gnocchi – Started with the Pomodori al Forno, which was amazing!
Had the Gnocchi (add sausage) and the whole meal practically melted in my mouth! It was delicious! Friends had the pizza special, which was a white sauce and they said red would've been better. Also tried the white/oily sauce pasta item (there was only one) and it was ok. I think I scored with my picks.
A SERIOUS RIP OFF – I have never figured out how this place got its supposedly stellar reputation. I have lived in this neighborhood for a quarter century, and frequented Lago probably five times. Each time I hope to have a better experience, but each time I come away shaking my head. The food is really quite ordinary, just as the prices are extraordinary. Service is perfunctory unless you buy a lot of their overpriced table wine. I have had far better pizza in several locations in Seattle. Far better.
Every dish is excellent – The pizzas are simple but elegant, never over done or "decorated". They make their pasta everyday and you can tell. The staff is a blast. All the sauces are delicate and satisfying.Signature drinks invented in house.
I recommend it without reservation.
The Way Pizza Should Be – Not many people outside of the neighborhood know about this place and it definitely has a neighborhood restaurant feel. But, my wife and I will drive from West Seattle to eat here. The pizza is how pizza should be. Fired on stone, minimal toppings, thin, crispy and with a crust that's like eating the perfect breadstick at the end of every slice. The fresh made pastas are also really good. The meatballs, that I hear come from an old family recipe, are some of the best I've ever had. Plenty of flavor and herbs but balanced without that overdone dry "italian seasoning" taste that so many affordable italian places fall prey to.
Great Spot! – Cafe Lago has great Italian cuisine nailed! Plus, the service is impeccable. The pizza reminds me of Italy. All carmelized and crispy from the wood fired oven. Delish! The ingredients and menu selections are fresh plus the pasta is so delicate and delicious! This is not a cheap Americanized Italian joint. It may cost a bit more but you always get what you pay for. Great wine selection, great food and wonderful homemade tiramisu for dessert. Don't forget to have the Blue Cheese Salad too! Great spot for family get togethers or dine at one of the booths by the bar for a more intimate setting for two.
Not what we expected – Despite the good over all critics and a suggestion from a friend, our friday night out at the cafe lago left us non totally satisfied. We made reservations so I have to say that we were prompty seated and got the table close to the window as requested. The service was quite good and polite, checking on us every now and then without becoming annoying. We got the bruschette with the goat cheese that were preety good, but not I-would-order-them-again good. The pizza actually was the big disapointment of the evening: thin crust does not mean cracker crunchy and that what it was. The tomato sauce seemed awfully lot as taken out of a can and frankly offering only 4-5 pizzas with no custom-made option is a major draw back(if you want to call your self an Italian restaurant and want to charge $18-20 for a pizza). The menu seemed pretty short, which contrasted with the fairly selected wine list. I appreciated the presence if imported Italian beer, although moretti isn't the best there is. I would exactly recomend the place, but if you do go, don't miss the panna cotta: super par to say the least.
disappointing – I heard of Cafe Lago as a great authentic italian restaurant. I finally tried it and was not that impressed. First they were out of two main dishes out of six they offer. The bad about it is that they wait for you to spend 15 min choosing your dish to say, sorry we are out of.... That makes a lousy service, I think.
The food was good but probably not worth the price. Dessert wise, same things they wait until you choose to say we are out of such or such, and barely apologize for it.
Overall I was quite disappointed.
Still a favorite, but price is getting steep – We "found" Cafe Lago several years ago and it fresh pasta and excellent preparations have brought us back over and over throughout the years. However, during the last year or so we've realized that the prices of their items have gotten rather high. We once viewed Cafe Lago as a great value and just a quick ride over the 520 bridge, but now, it's a pretty pricey choice and is leaving us searching for an option on the East Side that is a little less expensive. Setting aside the price issue, here are my favorite items: ravioli; imple romaine/blue cheese salad (with balsamic reduction); stuffed bell peppers (very rarely on the menu, if ever anymore). My daughter favors the caesar salad, while my wife has in the past favored the mixed salad (but has leaned to the blue cheese just recently due to issues with the materials in the mixed green. Cafe Lago prepares its pasta in house and does a great job. Its limited menu generally ensure good consistency. I'm sure we'll be back, but will probably resort to splitting salads and main dishes to save on costs.
Amazing and authentic – You don?t find restaurants that make homemade noodles that are as light and fluffy as Cafe Lago. I have eaten at many restaurants claiming to be Italian, and what I really get is pasta that I could have cooked at home. Cafe Lago is far more than your average Italian restaurant. For this I am confused by the complaints that have been made at the cost of Cafe Lago?s entrees. I have eaten at cafe Lago for years and have never had anything but the best food for my value, and service to boot. Last night what grabbed me was how reasonable their wine list was. With a $20 entree my date and I shared a $32 bottle of wine that was as good as I have had. So in closing, yes you will spend money at Cafe Lago. But it is worth every penny. Probably more.
WAS FINE, BUT NOW TOO EXPENSIVE!!! – We used to love this restaurant and just visited it last night after a few months. Wow! The prices were out of this world. As the previous reviewer stated, $20 for lasagne...without even a salad with it? You've got to be kidding me? I could make a whole pan for less at home. My boyfriend stated that a restaurant is more than just good food, you are also paying for the service. But last night, it was awful too. One busboy tried to take away our appetizer as I was putting my fork into it. Then, the waitress served our beer like we were at the local pub-slapping them down on the table. At least if they are going to jack up the prices, there should be some justification for it. There is not.
We will NEVER return to one of our once favorite spots. Forget it. Not worth the price.

A column by an Egyptian-American journalist that was posted on the website of Foreign Policy magazine sparked a complex and passionate debate online about the treatment of women in the Arab world last week.
Written more than a year after the onset of the "Arab Spring" and headlined "Why Do They Hate Us?" the piece by Mona Eltahawy argues that women in the Arab world suffer from systematic injustices that are unlikely to change despite the revolutions and upheaval occurring in the region.
For the week of April 23-27, the discussion surrounding the Foreign Policy piece was the fourth largest subject on blogs, according to the New Media Index from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism.

Stopping Global Warming
If we want to spare our children and grandchildren the worst consequences of global warming, we must dramatically reduce the carbon pollution that we pump into the atmosphere. And, as most scientists agree, we better do it soon. We need Washington to do much more, but we also need to build on our successes at the state and local level. Despite opposition from Big Oil and the coal industry, and short-term partisan politics in Congress, our staff and members are proving each day that there is a way forward on global warming.
The consequences: stronger storms and more
Global warming is the one of the most profound threats of our time — and we're starting to feel the effects. In recent years we've seen stronger, more frequent storms like superstorm Sandy and Snowmaggedon on the East Coast. We've also seen devastating drought in the Midwest and destructive wildfires in the West, as well as historic flooding from Vermont to Iowa.
Extreme weather could become "the new normal" as global warming wreaks havoc on our climate. Read our report, In the Path of the Storm, to learn more. Global warming will also threaten our coastal communities with rising sea levels, drive many species to extinction, and threaten our health with dirtier air and the spread of infectious disease.
These dangers are cause for immediate action, but too often our elected officials have dragged their feet and given into the lobbying efforts of Big Oil, utilities and the coal companies. Still, there are clear opportunities to do what is necessary right now to protect future generations.
Cleaning up the largest polluters: power plants
Coal-fired power plants are the largest single source of carbon pollution, yet they lack any federal limits on their emissions. And while Congress has been unwilling to correct this problem, the Obama administration is developing standards that could finally hold power plants accountable for their carbon pollution.
In March 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed the first-ever carbon pollution standards for new power plants, and the agency is expected to finalize these standards in the near future. Since we can't possibly solve global warming if we keep building polluting power plants, these standards alone will be a critical first step.
Looking forward, we're urging the Obama administration to also develop carbon pollution standards for existing power plants as soon as possible. These facilities have been allowed to spew unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into our air for decades, so these standards are long overdue—and essential for our efforts to tackle global warming.
Join our campaign and urge the Obama administration to limit global warming-causing carbon pollution from power plants.
Urge President Obama to lead on global warming
Key facts
- Average U.S. temperatures have increased by more than 2° Fahrenheit over the last 50 years, and 2012 is expected to be the hottest year on record. Temperatures are projected to rise by as much as an additional 7° F to 11° F on average by the end of the century, should emissions of global warming pollutants continue to increase.
- Carbon pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil is the main cause of global warming, which increases the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events ranging from droughts and wildfires to hurricanes and severe flooding.
- Sea level along the East Coast has been rising at a rate of nearly 1 foot per century due to the expansion of sea water as it has warmed, and due to the melting of glaciers.
- By adopting clean energy policies at the local, state and federal levels, the United States could curb emissions of carbon dioxide from energy use by as much as 20% by 2020 and 34% by 2030.

Start: Set up the development environment for SharePoint 2013
Published: July 16, 2012
Learn the steps to set up a SharePoint 2013 development environment by installing SharePoint 2013 and Visual Studio 2012.
Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Server 2013
First, decide what you want to build (to learn more about apps for SharePoint, see Apps for SharePoint overview):
If you want to build solutions that use the server-side object model exclusively, we provide those steps in this article.
If you want to create and publish apps for SharePoint, you should consider getting an Office 365 developer site. Then, follow the instructions in How to: Set up an environment for developing apps for SharePoint on Office 365 and Sign up for an Office 365 Developer Site.
If you want to develop apps for SharePoint for a corporate catalog—such as apps that have full control permissions—you'll work with a full installation of SharePoint 2013 on a development computer and configure that installation for app isolation. We provide the steps to set up an on-premises SharePoint installation in this article. Then, if you want to create apps for SharePoint on your on-premises installation, follow the steps in How to: Set up an on-premises development environment for apps for SharePoint.
The requirements for a development environment for an installation of apps for SharePoint are less stringent and costly than the requirements for a production environment. If you are setting up a production environment installation, see Overview of SharePoint 2013 installation and configuration and Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 for those instructions.
In any development environment, you should use a computer with an x64-capable CPU, and at least 16 GB of RAM to install and run SharePoint 2013; 24 GB of RAM is preferable.
Depending on your specific requirements and budget, you can choose one of the following options:
Install SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 x64 or Windows Server 2012.
Use Microsoft Hyper-V and install SharePoint 2013 on a virtual machine running a Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 x64 or Windows Server 2012 guest operating system. See Use best practice configurations for the SharePoint 2013 virtual machines and Hyper-V environment for guidance on setting up a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine for SharePoint 2013.
We support installation of SharePoint 2013 only on Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 x64 or Windows Server 2012. If you want to develop apps for SharePoint for SharePoint 2013 on Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can sign up for an Office 365 Developer Site and develop apps remotely. See How to: Set up an environment for developing apps for SharePoint on Office 365 for instructions about how to create this sort of development environment.
SharePoint 2013 requires your operating system to have certain prerequisites installed before installation begins. For this reason, SharePoint 2013 includes a PrerequisiteInstaller.exe tool that installs all of the prerequisites for you. Run this tool before running the Setup.exe tool.
Run the PrerequisiteInstaller.exe tool.
Run the Setup.exe tool included with your installation files.
Accept the Microsoft Software License Terms.
On the Choose the installation you want page, choose Stand-alone.
If any errors occur in the installation, review the log file. To find the log file, open a Command Prompt window, and then type the following commands at the command prompt. A link to the log file also appears when the installation is complete.
After the installation is complete, you are prompted to start the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard.
The SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard can fail if you are using a computer that is joined to a domain but that is not connected to a domain controller. If this failure occurs, connect to a domain controller either directly or through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, or sign in with a local account that has administrative privileges on the computer.
After the configuration wizard is complete, you see the Template Selection page of the new SharePoint 2013 site.
When you install Visual Studio 2012 and Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012, you get all of templates and tools to develop SharePoint 2013 on your local development machine.
See Installing Visual Studio for instructions about installing Visual Studio 2012.
After you install Visual Studio 2012, download and install Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012 and the SharePoint Client Components. You can install the tools and client components by going to the Downloads page of the Apps for Office and SharePoint Developer Center and choosing on the link for the web-based platform installer (WebPI) that installs the tools and assemblies that you will need to develop apps for SharePoint. This version of the tools and assemblies will work on a SharePoint-hosted, provider-hosted, or autohosted app for SharePoint, and you can use the assemblies in the client components to build a web application or a client application connecting to SharePoint that is hosted or running on an x86-bit platform. If you are targeting an x64-bit web application, then you will need to install the x64-bit versions of the required assemblies separately.
Verbose logging in Visual Studio 2012
Follow these steps if you want to turn on verbose logging:
Open the registry, and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\SharePointTools.
Add a DWORD key named EnableDiagnostics.
Give the key the value 1.
The registry path will change in future versions of Visual Studio.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

My not-so-normal New Years resolutions
by Devin
posted Jan 3 2012 12:00AM
First, I'd like to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours! I hope 2012 is very good to you. I was so excited to kick 2011 in the you know what! I was OVER IT LOL! Now, every year we all attempt to fullfill our New Years resolutions and for some, we never stick to it....ok MOST of us. I have some of the most random resolutions and I thought I would share them with you...maybe give you some ideas. Most of the time, people want to "lose weight" or "stop smoking"...which is GREAT, don't get me wrong. The first one is pretty emabrrassing, but I vow to start remembering to put my car in park before I open the door and try to get out. I do this on ONE TOO MANY occasions. I'm not sure what's wrong with me but it happens and it HAS to stop, or my car will roll into a wall one day. Second, I promise to have more patience....with VA DRIVERS! This is pretty self explanatory because you know as well as I do, that VA drivers are INSANE LOL! But for me, it's not worth a heart attack. I plan to WOOSAAHH. Third, I plan to start watching more educational programming. I think I get dumber the more I watch "Mob Wives." and "Jerseylicious..." I need to excercise the brain and these shows are NOT helping haha. Fourth, I will ony check my Facebook every half hour, instead of every 2 minutes. I have a problem. I can admit it. And last but not least, I vow to check my mail at my apartment more than once a month, my mailman probably HATES me. It's already a tiny little slot for the mail, I don't know how he fits the other stuff in most of the time. Poor guy lol. Hope you had a fantastic 2011 and WELCOME TO 2012!! Now let's stick to those resolutions SHALL WE? God Bless!

Style: P2-31052
This board has a flatter entry rocker with a rounder outline, "wider nose, wider tail" to make up for the shorter length of the board. This board should be ridden 6" shorter than a performance shortboard. It also has a flatter deck which makes the rails fuller for more buoyancy for a better performance in smaller, flatter waves. It can be ridden as a tri-fin, twin fin, or with a small trailer fin, making it adaptable to all conditions.
Inside you will find a helpful sizing guide. Use it to find out your true size in different articles of clothing. It will help you determine what size boardshorts or bikini to buy this summer!
